Does this unit have a tip-over safety shut off?

Yes, it does. I just tested it and the fan shut off when I put it on its back.

There is a mechanism within the the system that causes it to turn off when the heater is tipped over or off its base. However, that is all for nothing because the thing stopped working after 4 months. Do not buy this machine. Find a good Honeywell.

I did not see that in the discription. it says auto shut off feature. I think it means that if it over heats it will shut off. I love mine. However, I don't have pets or kids that would would bump in to it to tip it over. I also don't sleep with it on. just a safety thing for me. hope this helps.

Yes it has a little sensor that shuts off the unit when the water level falls below it.

From my experience with this item, it does not have a safety shutoff. I have not left it unattended but I have left it on for short bursts of time where I might have triggered the shut off if it had one.

Not that I'm aware of. I have forgot to turn it off in the past & go back & it's still on. So, I'm assuming it doesn't. I'm learning to turn it off before I leave the room. But, I've been very happy with it. It does well for what I need. Thanks

It does have a switch on the bottom that turns the unit off if it tips over. If set back upright, the heater will turn back on.

Every heater of this type is now required to turn off automatically if it's tipped over. It is a built in safety mechanism.

Funny you should point that out! The unit I received DOES have a shutdown cycle. The picture is indeed inaccurate.

Jackie, I bought this unit for my mom's cool (cold) New England basement. I don't know if it has a tip over protection switch but the online info for this model number doesn't list it as being there. She has been very pleased with it.

I don't know if it will shut off if it falls over. I don't see any mention of that in the manual-here's the link:http://www.laskoproducts.com/full-circle-warmth-ceramic-heater-with-remote-control-model-6462/I will say we're very happy with the unit. It's quiet, puts out good heat for its size, and the fact that you can direct the heat to one direction up to 360 degrees is a very nice feature. It seems quite stable, too.Hope this helps.

It does not shut off, but the box states power is reduced. The graphic they used on Amazon is wrong. Vornado AVH2 purchased 1/2016. My guess is they are just using their same airblow blocked/overheating technology for tip over.

Yes. I appreciate the built-in safety regulator, but this model turns off when it's not overheating at all -- and, even if it were, the coils should shut down, not the fan. Without the fan to dissipate heat, it takes even longer for the heater to come back on. Very disappointing.

I haven't seen any auto shut-off. Even read the booklet to check but it does't mention any, so I would say no.

If you mean, as a safety feature, it shuts off if it is tilted or turned on its side - then NO.All normal functions are timed so those shut off automatically. There is a main ON/OFF button as well that over-rides all timed functions.

Unfortunately, no. I have accidentally left mine on for long periods of time and luckily have had no steam/burning/problems; but I sure do wish there was an auto shut-off for safety!

though I haven't tested it, it is supposed to shut off if tips over. Yes, it is cool to the touch. :-)
